STUDENT STORIES

Bledi - Albania

Before joining THS, I began my ministry journey with Young Life in Albania. My time at THS strengthened my leadership, team-building, and strategic ministry skills. After graduating, I stepped into my current role as Country Director of Young Life Albania, where I focus on empowering leaders and expanding Young Life’s impact across my country.

Tabitha - U.S.A.

When I started THS, I knew I wanted to grow closer to God and to influence people through Christian movies. THS truly taught me to put God first in every aspect of my life and to live out my faith practically in everyday ways. They also encouraged me in my passion for cinematography, helping me to see how creativity can honor God. Today, I live out my faith through storytelling—creating films that move hearts and bring people closer to God.

Bishop Boaz - Kenya

I joined THS at a time when I already had many pastoral responsibilities but scanty knowledge about my role. During my studies, I learned how to be a servant leader! Thank you so much THS!
